Bob Costas was on Conan last night and didn't care for NBC's decision to delay the—already tape-delayed—performance by The Who during the closing ceremony. For an hour, in mid-ceremony, NBC paused things to broadcast a show about a monkey.

"I'm sure you'd be the first to attest, Conan, that when it comes to the tough calls, NBC usually gets them right," Costas told O'Brien.
